Jeff's oldest boy Jeff Jr. has just been accepted to become the newest member of the National Junior Honor Society.  His mother was so excited that she could not wait for Jamie to open the envelope.  She opened it and shared with family and friends how proud both her and his Step-father are of Jamie's accomplishment.  I know that my brother is proud too.  He would get just as excited as Jessica(Mom)to let everybody know what Jamie had accomplished whether it be aceing a FCAT which Jamie has now done in succession or being invited to visit colleges at the ripe old age of eleven and twelve.  Jeff my brother and Jamie's father was very intelligent.  He did not accomplish the things that Jamie has accomplised academically but I know beyond doubt that he too was capable.  Jamie is a product of Jeff and part of the enormous legacy he left behind.  And as our entire family is Jeff is proud of his boy too.  Jeff is most likely bragging in Heaven although all of the Angels' have probably heard it already.....

Hunter the second in the line of five children is also showing signs of having a promising academic career.  He has already been on the honor roll twice and as we await the results of this first quarter I am sure he continues to strive to do well.  Of the five children Hunter was probably the closest to his daddy in the last years of Jeff's life.  Jeff would work with him on homework and praise him when he did well.  I am sure he continues to praise him even now.

Jeff wanted so much for all of his children and I know that he is watching over them now.  Sometimes when it rains I wonder if it is tears of joy from my brother's eyes letting us all know how proud he is of his babies.

Sending lots of kisses to Heaven!!!

Jamie,

I am so proud of you son, I was always proud of you since the day you were born.  My first born, you could not have been more beautiful.  There was not a person that came into contact with you that did not say so.  I was so happy to welcome you into my life, I loved you more than I could have ever imagined-probably even before you were born.  I am watching from Heaven and I wanted to congratulate you on not only passing the Fcat-but for not missing a single question.  You aced it baby boy, and my only wish is that I could be there in person to tell you how proud of you I have always been.  To tell you how proud of you I am.  I know that you have been through alot in your short life-and God knows I havn't made things easy on you, but I want to see you live out all of your dreams.  Do your best baby, that is all I ever asked.  Be a kid, enjoy your life and continue to do well.  I know you looked/look up to me, but Jamie I want more for you-I always did.  I want you to have everything that I couldn't give you and more.  Ibba lubba youba!!

You da Man-keep up the good work Jr.-YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD!!!

Always your Daddy-Jeff
